Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

We aim to please Bakkies

@Transformation-23600:
This is very true.
What did we do to deserve the spear?
Where did we go wrong?
Doubtless some here will blame ilovebakkies but IMO the problem runs deeper.

happy happy and all that crackheads!
back from 10 days in plett and nose to the grindstone but i just wanted to say:
sharks are gonna get you.

@Dawn-23596: The Stormers are the objects of Bakkies’s scorn? Say it isn’t so…… Gutted
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23597: HG has problems with cricket? That’s the very least of his problems by all psychiatric accounts…. Lay off the Stormers Bakkaloo. A team so humble within itself deserves only love
@Dawn-23599: Oh dear. I find these words a little tough to stomach, “for some reason you just know this isn’t a team which will die for each and do everything and more”. (Coming from a fan of the team captained by a man who isn’t prepared to perform the humblest of tackles for fear of spraining a facial muscle….)
The more things change, the more they stay the same

i dont deserve the misery though.
sadly it will be a case of the blind leading me to oblivion.

@nortierd-23604:
hehehe
that and the consistently repeated putdowns of players from other provinces.
some of the names you call them is so classless and lacking in respect.
its the truth
and sometimes we all need to hear it
(did i hear a BOOM!..?..)
14 Jan 2013, 10:35 am
@Dawn-23612: I don’t think this will last
It only takes one sh y te decision by a Kiwi ref…..or a ‘dodgy’ win by a Kiwi team in Round 1 or 2 and any negative feelings towards the Stormers will disappear (faster than ET when ‘online idealistic struggle talk’ gets real in his streets)
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23614: Bakkies, it’s not your talk that is controversial
You are the Howard Stern of the interweb…..
14 Jan 2013, 10:37 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23616: BOOM. What players, what names?
We need examples…………
Lacking respect indeed….tsk tsk.

some of the names you people use to describe Pierre, Waynand, Dean, Oom Wynie and Morne for example has regularly gone way beyond acceptable levels of banter.
i wouldn’t be wrong to describe it as hate speach.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-23628:
Interesting, the name “Rambo” was derived from a brand of apples…
14 Jan 2013, 10:56 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23624: hate speach (sic) for calling Britney by his name?!
14 Jan 2013, 10:56 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23624:
Quite right Bakkies.
But remember, we have 3 Super Rugby titles.
They have none.
They are bound to be looking for attention.

@gunther-23622:
thanks Gunner,
i can take it with the best of them.
you’re right
i will let go of the jibes.

Seen over at ESPNCricInfo:
Michael: “SA is fast becoming the Cricketing equivalent of the All Blacks in rugby, the dominant No.1 test team, phenomenal exporter of players and coaches and a weird tendency to choke against weaker opposition at World Cups……”
Eric: “Without wanting to tempt the dreaded hex – BJ and Brownlie (a Saffa and an Aussie) are making pretty good work of their auditions to be part of the test team for the rest of the summer. With Taylor, potentially Ryder and another import, Ronchi (wk) to come in – along with Southee and, injury-permitting, Vettori – NZ could be surprisingly competitive against the English.”

@Mr Black-23633:
Indeed.

@WP-Forever-23636:
very interesting, thanks.
i would say the Stollone made the role his own
and perhaps Deniro would have done equally as well.
14 Jan 2013, 11:04 am
Anyone seen the documentary-movie, Searching for Sugarman?
Highly recommended for Rodriguez fans.
14 Jan 2013, 11:05 am
@Angostura-23638:
Southee makes me laugh.
He’s the Black Caps appointed “enforcer” .
We destroyed him when we toured Pongoland.
He’s as loopy as Shane Warne and as intimidating as Ashley Giles.
14 Jan 2013, 11:05 am
We didn’t make you this fighting machine, Bakkies.
We just chipped away the rough edges.
14 Jan 2013, 11:05 am
@Angostura-23638:
pretty much agreed on that.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23642:
Dustin Hoffman thought it was too violent.
Garner – a Korean War veteran and Purple Heart recipient – did not want to portray a character who comes home from Vietnam and then kills cops.
Initially, the script called for Rambo to commit suicide at the end of the movie (as happens in the book by David Morell). But screenings to test audiences found it too depressing, so they made him love, thus resulting in a number of truly horrendous sequels.
But the role saved Stallone’s acting career. Mind you, he got hurt a lot of times during the filming, doing his own stunts mostly.
There’s one scene where he falls and screams out in pain, that’s not fake since he actually broke a rib. In the mineshaft scene, he put his hand down on a squib that then went off severely injuring his hand.
